Fished the spring festival last year, and going back this year
Carp pond – usual carp type lake, big fish in the margins (corn) last 2 hours, method to island if you have a chuck, pole to island on a few pegs. Also 6m line. Corn and pellet mainly to be fair.
Some pegs have obvious features. The fish do go big, 12-13 fish for 100lb isnt un common.
100lb weight target
Tench Pond
A pond where everyone can reach a central lilly bed with between 10m and 16m. Very funny pond, if its clear it can be a nightmare, if its coloured it can be awesome. Mainly fishing for crucians and a few tench. You need to fish light (0.09-0.10mm, 18-20 hooks) mainly chop worm and caster or maggot. Trouble is there are quite a few carp 2-3lb and to get these out you need proper tackle, of which a crucian wont come anywhere near you so its up to you…
30lb will be a good weight
Match lake
Central island generally 20M away, method feeder and waggler most consistant. banded pellet or 2-3 maggots
Again though it can be clear, and if it is it can be hard.
Margin for big fish, shallow caster for roach, crucians, and allsorts
target weight can be 30lb or 130lb it is that unpredictable
The complex is stuffed with fish its just the weather is proper up and down in that area and hence so is the fishing
Hope that helps, oh and if Heapsy gets the whisky out in the caravan then either do a runner or get ur drinking boots on!!
